You're Wasting an Hour a Day Doing This

Executive Coach Neal Schore says that fear-driven habits are quietly stealing at least an hour from your day, every day. Drawing from decades of coaching founders, operators, and unicorn CEOs, Neal explains how anxiety about being fired, judged by boards, or seen as “not enough” leads to endless Slack chains, diluted meetings, and mental “swirls” that crush focus and time. Neal and Entrepreneur Editor in Chief Jason Feifer unpack why good things often start with worst-case scenarios (like getting fired), how to stop overcompensating out of fear, and why managing you—not everyone else—is the only way to reclaim your calendar. He shares practical tools from his new book, The 25th Hour, like the “clarifying question” that can turn a 7-hour crisis into a 7-minute conversation, the devil/angel metaphor for fear versus real performance issues, and a simple five-minute “swirl limit” to stop catastrophic thinking from hijacking your nights and weekends. If you’re a founder or senior leader stuck in loss-aversion, overcommitting to boards, or living in constant “what if I get fired?” mode, this conversation shows you how to get out of your own way, protect your time, and even see job loss or client churn as the start of better fits—not the end of your career.
